OEL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patent-ed. May 14, 1912.

Applieation filed. August 24, 1911. Serial No. 645,779. v

To all wiz-om t may concern.

Be it known that l, Fonns'r VILLIAMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hobart. in thel county of Kiowa and State of Oklahoma, have invinted certain new and useful Improvements in Uil-Burners, of

.which the following is a specification;

My invention relates to oil burners and particularly to that type of burner in which a burning pan is used, the oil being allowed to tlow into the pan and being ignited therein, lthe object of the invention being to provide a. very simple, durable and efficient burner of this type practically made in one piece, having no parts Which may be easily brokenor destroyed by the heat of 'the'burn ing oil, means being provided for the admission of air to the flames above the oil and providingfor a uniform flow of oil over all the surfaeeof the burner.

My invention is'illustrated in the panyirne` drawings Wherelnt Figure l is a plan View of my improved burner. Fig. 2 isa longitudinal section on the line 2---2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 3 3 of Fig. l, the dotted lines showing the position of the burner within a stove.

Correspoinling and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the accompanying' drawings by the same reference characters.

Mymproved burner `comprises a pan formed of arelatiyelytlat plate Q' prefer ably rectangularin planand having an 4upstanding rim 3. rlllhe plate 2 and the rim 3 are preferably integral.

Passing through the plate 2 which forms the bottom of the pan are a plurality of air openings 4. As shown, there areften .of

' these air openings in the plate disposed, two` at each end, four at the middle of the plate4 and two between the middle set of openings and the pairs of holes at `the ends of the plate.. l do not, Ylmweuer, Wish to be limited Surrounding each ofthe air'openings l an upstanding Wall -5, the upper edge f this Wali'being flush with the upper edge of' the rin'L 3.l Thesewalls prevent the oil which may be contained in the pan from passing out through the air openings and thus maintain a uniform llevel of oil over the ywhole surface of the pan. 'i

[an oilf supply pipe 6 passes through theA bottom of the pan and-discharges at the center of the pan. This supply pipe is of course connected to any source of oil, the oil being so regulated that a uniform depth of oil will be kept within the pan.

' Extending from each of the circular Walls 5 that surround the air openings at the ends of the pan or plate 2 is a de tlecting Wall 7 each detiecting Wall extending to the adjacent corner of the burning pan. Extending centrally from each ofthe Walls surround ingy the central set of air openings are the detiecting Walls .7a which are directed toivard the central oil inletopening. These Walls 7a are beveled upon their upper faces towardv the fuel inlet opening. These dev fleeting walls 7 and 7a afford means for collecting the lightjoil for igniting' purposes when lighting the burner.

Preferably the plate 2 Wit-h the rim 3, the circular walls 5 and the angularly extending dedecting Walls 7 and 7 a are made in one piece, as byvcasting. ln operation,.,the burn- -ing 'pan is set within the tire box of the stove in the manner shown in Fig. 3, cement 8 being placed between the sides of the burning pan and the adjacent Wall of the fire box. The oilsupply pipe 6 is of course connected in any. suitable manner to a source of supply.

.The operation of my device willr be obvious from 'what has gone before.' Fuel is turned on at the supply pipe and Aallowed Ato fioul" into'the burningfpan. It is then ignited and burns over the entire surface 'of the pan, the burning oil'being confined by the Walls 3 and Air for proper combus- 'tio'n is admitted through the air holes 4 and is uniformly distributed by reason of the v disposition of the draft openings.. What l claim is:

l; An oil burner comprising 'a'. plate having a marginal upstanding Wall, said plate being-formed .with a pair of air inlet openings at each end, each surrounded by an up standing Wall, the plate being also formed `with a central oil supply opening and with va plurality of air inlet openings disposed i around the-oil supply opening, each of said last named air inlet openings bein' surrounded by an upstanding Wall, de ecting walls'extending radially from the central oil vsupply opening, and de tlecting Walls extending from each of the Walls surrounding the vpairs of i-)penings at the ends of the lplate to the adjacent corners of the plate.
